The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story
A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus. The Hot Zone tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the
appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their "crashes" into the human race. Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, The Hot Zone proves that truth really is scarier than fiction. more

I've had this book on my shelf for at least the past 10 or so years and decided to pick it up. I thought the topic was pretty interesting and I liked the back history of Ebola and it's initial outbreaks but when it got to the story of...

The Hot Zone by Richard Preston i can not say was a favotite. The extreme amount of details detracted from the novel itslef. I like the imagery, but it was so much that i was distracted from the story line itself. Also the constant...
